Delivery to 160+ platforms, a metadata check before anything ships, pre-save campaigns, a smart release link, an artist landing page, and playlist pitching. Publishing admin, sync, physical, and monetize are separate opt-ins.
Payouts run twice a month, on the 1st and the 15th. Minimum thresholds are $10 for direct deposit, $25 for PayPal, and $100 for wire transfer. Everything you've earned, across distribution, publishing, sync, and monetize, lands in one payout.
It registers your songs to collect mechanical and performance royalties, the publishing-side money generated by streams, downloads, radio play, and public performance, across 65+ countries. Most independent artists never register for this and leave that money unclaimed.
No. It's non-exclusive. You can still pursue your own sync opportunities at the same time, and if you land one yourself, AudioKey takes nothing from it.
Yes, physical manufacturing and retail placement are entirely separate opt-ins and don't require you to use any other AudioKey service.
No. A claim is a monetization mechanism, not a penalty. Videos stay up and ads simply start running, with the revenue split between AudioKey and you.
No. You can take a release down or move it to another distributor at any time. The one exception is Content ID specifically, which requires exclusive rights while it's active, so don't run the same recording through another distributor's Content ID program at the same time.
No, and you should be cautious of anyone who promises that. What we guarantee is that your music gets delivered correctly, your royalties get collected everywhere we operate, and your catalog gets pitched to the right people. The rest depends on the music.
